This program allows an undergraduate to attend The University of West Alabama for approximately three years and then transfer to the School of Forestry at Auburn University. In order for a student to become a Dual-Degree candidate at Auburn University, he or she must have a recommendation from the Dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of West Alabama, have a 3.0 grade point average in the required work at UWA, and satisfy the admission requirements of the School of Forestry at Auburn University. After completing the academic requirements of the two cooperating institutions, the student will be awarded a Bachelor of Environmental Sciences from The University of West Alabama and a Bachelor of Forestry from Auburn University.

The University of West Alabama curriculum requirements for the Dual-Degree include general education courses, science and mathematics core courses, and a variety of courses in the areas of biology, chemistry, geology, and physics.  See plan of study below.
